  2. I loved #436. Nothing leaves you more dumbfounded than one of those out of the blue questions that are deeper than you ever dreamed possible, and yet you have to find an answer that is the most simplistic. I would have loved to have heard that conversation. YOur list is beautiful, as are all the pictures. Especially loved the Blue Ball jar!!!! Just so homey feeling!
